Inventor: ENGELIEN-LOPES DAVID ALEXANDRE
IPC: H04W4/80
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to wireless communication between a master device and a slave device, wherein: the master device is arranged to continually transmit request messages to the slave device; the slave device is arranged to transmit reply messages in reply only to some of said request messages; wherein the slave device transmits a reply message in reply to a request message if: a predetermined period has elapsed since it transmitted its last reply message; or, the request message contains data. The predetermined period for which the slave device refrains from transmitting a reply could be defined as a time, or as a whole number of request messages which are not replied to. Power consumption of the slave device can be reduced, extending battery life.

Patent GB-2517809-A (GB)
Title: Processing of primitive blocks in parallel tiling engine pipes
Inventor: YANG XILE
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2014-02-13
Abstract: A tiling unit is arranged to process a sequence of primitive blocks using multiple parallel tiling engine pipes. Each tiling engine pipe processes a respective primitive block, and determines priorities for regions of the respective primitive block based on whether the primitive block overlaps with any of the other primitive blocks currently being processed in the parallel tiling engine pipes. Each tiling engine pipe processes the regions of its primitive block in a tile-order based on the priorities of the regions. The submission order of the primitives should be maintained when primitive identifiers are written into display lists. Therefore, the priority of a region of a first primitive block is increased (or decreased) if it overlaps with another primitive block which has a higher (or lower) sequence number and which is currently being processed in another tiling engine pipe. This reduces the time that the tiling engine pipes are idle.

Title: Data processing apparatus and method for performing vector scan operation
Inventor: BOETTCHER MATTHIAS LOTHAR
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2014-03-06
Abstract: A vector scan operation is performed to generate M data elements of a result vector R, where each result data element corresponds to a combination of an additional data element S with at least some of the data elements of a source vector operand V. The vector scan operation is performed using a plurality of steps, each step comprising one or more combination operations for combining data elements. At least one of the steps includes two or more combination operations performed in parallel. At least two of the steps comprise a combination operation for combining a data element with the additional data element S. This approach enables the vector scan operation to be performed in fewer steps in the case where fewer than M data elements are active, so that the vector scan operation can be performed more quickly (see Figure 8 for example). The scan operation may be a scan add operation, also known as a prefix sum operation.
Patent GB-2513991-A (GB)
Title: High voltage cable
Inventor: WORRALL PETER
IPC: H01B9/00
Filed: 2014-03-26
Abstract: The cable has an inner portion and an outer portion, the outer portion comprising a layer of hygroscopic material 15 and a layer of low diffusion polymer 14 surrounding the layer of hygroscopic material. The layer of hygroscopic material comprises a desiccant, e.g. a zeolite, contained in a polymer material. The hygroscopic material surrounds the inner portion. The low diffusion polymer provides a barrier to moisture passing into the cable and the hygroscopic material provides a moisture absorbing layer to absorb any moisture that does pass through the low diffusion polymer layer. This helps restrict flow of moisture towards the centre of the cable. The low diffusion polymer layer 14 may be replaced by a metal foil layer.

Title: Regenerative hydraulic vibration damper
Inventor: MCADAM RICHARD SAMUEL
IPC: H02N2/18
Filed: 2015-02-03
Abstract: A regenerative hydraulic vibration damper 1 is provided. The vibration damper 1 comprises: a hydraulic fluid retaining volume including a piston 6 and cylinder 4 and optionally one or more further tubes 12,14, the cylinder or further tubes have a plurality of axially spaced strips of piezoelectric material 32 extending circumferentially in or on a wall of the respective tube to generate electricity from shock waves in the hydraulic fluid. An electrical circuit (see Figures 5 & 7 ) rectifies, combines and outputs current from the strips of piezoelectric material 32 to the vehicle battery or other load. As the strips of piezoelectric material 32 are axially spaced, they may generate electricity with different phases, which is combined and smoothed via a low pass filter (42 in Figures 5 & 7) to produce a DC output. A rotatable shaft 28 connected to an electrical generator may be rotated by linear motion of the piston 6 within the cylinder 4 to thereby regenerate energy from shocks.

Title: Segmented linear ion mobility spectrometer driver
Inventor: MOULDS RICHARD BARRINGTON
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2015-06-10
Abstract: An ion mobility spectrometer or separator comprises multiple groups of electrodes, each group comprising a first electrode connected to a first independently controllable voltage supply, a second electrode connected to a second independently controllable voltage supply, and one or more intermediate electrodes. The first electrode, the intermediate electrodes and the second electrode are interconnected by a series of resistors to form a resistive divider. Some of the independently controllable voltage supplies are arranged to supply voltages to at least two adjacent groups of electrodes to continuously subject an ion distribution to a non-zero voltage gradient or electric field as the ion distribution progress along a drift region. Other independently controllable voltage supplies are arranged to supply voltages to other groups of electrodes to apply a different voltage gradient or electric field across portions of the drift region which are distal from the ion distribution.
Patent GB-2540202-A (GB)
Title: Enhanced line encoding
Inventor: François Thoumy
IPC: H04L27/02
Filed: 2015-07-10
Abstract: A device for encoding a bitstream for transmission over a communication chain comprises a unit 160 for splitting the bitstream into a plurality of substreams, at least two different types of line encoder 170, 180 for respectively encoding the sub-streams, e.g. MB12 and 8b10b encoders, and a transmission unit 190, e.g. a 4-ASK modulator, for transmitting the encoded substreams. The transmission unit provides variable reliability levels for transmission of the encoded substreams through the mapping of bits to symbols during modulation. The line encoders are matched to the reliability level with which the corresponding substreams are transmitted, in particular, an MB12 encoder is chosen for the most reliable bit positions (MSB) since it has a spectrum shape with a smooth increase at low frequencies and so is more robust against filtering of the DC component in the communication chain. The invention takes advantage of the unequal sensitivity to noise of bits during the modulation process thereby improving the tradeoff between the coding rate and the BER/SNR performances.
